Freedom Feature: Submit Your Story

Welcome to the Freedom Feature, "Submit Your Story" page!

What is the Freedom Feature? The Freedom Feature is a Strength and Sunshine blog series started to connect the celiac disease and food allergy/intolerance community together by sharing our stories to food freedom. From our beginning struggles, to striving after diagnosis, we can all relate and help each other out by sharing what we've learned and our unique personal journeys.

From interviews with respected celiac and food allergy bloggers, open dialogues with allergy-friendly brands and companies, to YOU, my dear reader. You can submit your own personal story from struggle to freedom right here on this page and have a chance to have your story shared on the Freedom Feature. Whether you have Celiac Disease, a top 8 food allergy, or lactose intolerance, it doesn't matter, you're part of the community and can share your story!

Email me with your interest to tell your story and be featured. Make sure the subject is FREEDOM FEATURE and email to hello(at)strengthandsunshine dot)com
